Hymn 141 — God and Father, source of glory,
| 141 | E. CARREN from Swedish | 8.7.8.7. |
| 1 |
God and Father, source of glory, High above our praise art Thou; Yet in Christ Thou hast declared Love that makes our spirits bow. | |
| 2 |
From eternity 'twas purposed Thou shouldst have this rich delight, Hearts to swell Thy praise for ever, Sons to worship in Thy sight. | |
| 3 |
Thou didst sanctify and send Him, All Thy counsels to make good -- Him who knew Thine earnest longing, And Thy feelings understood. | |
| 4 |
He no service thought too lowly, And no sacrifice too great To secure Thy plan so holy, And its objects extricate. | |
| 5 |
Now Thy love has found its answer, All Thy thoughts secured and sealed; And the sons Thou hast been seeking Their eternal tribute yield. | |
